What the Akeredolu victory meant to our people -Elegbeleye, Ariyomo

Otunba Gbenga Elegbeleye...see great future for the state

*Congratulates
governor-elect

Two prominent members of the
victorious All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Ondo governorship election that
brought victory to Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN) has in a review of the process
thanked the people for investing massive confidence in the party and voted
according to their conscience.

Former Director General of the
National Sports Commission, Hon Gbenga Elegbeleye and cerebral Tunji Light
Ariyomo quipped in separate interviews with www.gongnews.net
that the voice of the people is the voice of God.

To Elegbeleye, “it was a victory
for democracy. Victory against tyranny and self serving leadership. Victory
against imposition and negative politics. I hope his (Akeredolu) victory will
put an end to politics of playing one community against others all in the guise
of a selfish agenda.”

He added, “this is the voice of the
people of Ondo and it is the voice of God. We thank the people for this rare
confidence in our party and voting massively for our candidate. This is a
community victory and we shall deliver the expected change to the people. We
thank the people and by the grace of God, we shall make their electoral investment
yield great results they will be proud of.”

Engineer Tunji Light Ariyomo in his
own assessment said, “it is a new dawn in Ondo state. The state now has the

opportunity to reset and refocus towards proper and sustenable development of
the land and the people.”

“The man they have voted for is not
just reliable, he is close to the people. He knows where the pains are. He visited
virtually every community in the state during the campaigns. As a successful
legal practitioner, he would bring that managerial leadership to play. The fortunes
of our state certainly is looking so bright and enduring.”

Tunji Light Ariyomo...interpreted the victory

“Did you check the result that
brought is that victory? Don’t look at the margin. Look at the spread. There are
some unusual facts. People came out massively. Two, we secured victories where
we were made to look were not our areas of strength. Three, every vote counted
in the election. From here, there is an assurance that electoral processes will
continue to yield greater confidence in the nation. Here, one needs to commend
the INEC for a great job which showed grit planning and mobilisation of
resources.”

The two party figures congratulated the Governor-elect and wished him the very best in office.
